The New York Yankees gained a crucial victory against the New York Mets, winning 6-4, amidst controversial umpiring decisions that left Mets manager Carlos Mendoza frustrated. The decisive moment came in the ninth inning as pinch-hitter Luis Torrens faced a questionable strike call from home plate umpire John Bacon that ended the at-bat prematurely. This was not the only contentious call, as Mendoza cited earlier decisions affecting Juan Soto's at-bat as well.

The Yankees showcased their offensive strength, out-hitting the Mets 12-10 and hitting two home runs, one from Aaron Judge and another from Austin Wells. This victory is particularly vital as the teams head into the final stretches of the season, with the Mets preparing for road games against the Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Royals.
